Market Signals & Indicators

Negotiating Leverage

The current market dynamics suggest a moderated pace of sales activity, where available inventory does not face intense demand pressure. With a pending ratio of 0.26 and an increasing share of price reductions, prospective buyers may find greater opportunity for price discipline. Sellers may need to adjust price expectations to align with current absorption rates.

Luxury Segment

The average listing price has grown by 9.5% year-over-year, outpacing the 5.1% growth in the median listing price, suggesting a widening spread at the higher end of the market. This, combined with a year-over-year decline in median price per square foot, points to some softness in the luxury segment as of the latest data.

Supply Dynamics

92 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 24 per month.
